An ankle sprain is one of the most common sports injuries. There are three ligaments that hold the out-step of the ankle joint. However, there are five ligaments holding the instep of the ankle joint. This imbalance causes over 90% of sprains to the out-step of the ankle.
When you are engaged in high impact sports such as basketball, football, volleyball and racquetball, use an ankle brace.
An ankle brace is known to increase your proprioceptive senses to trigger preventative action of the muscles.[i]
